Why don't these people print the study with this article? All this thing says it will cost 4 Billion to Wisconsin families and a couple hundred million in state revenue. Sorry folks, I don't by it. The way I see it is you have the unions that bleed these companies dry over years and years. Look at my earlier post about the Pillsbury plant in southern Indiana. That plant has been there for 50 or 60 years. I don't know when the union got there but you know it was, "let's milk um". And every time "contract" negotiations came up, the union could say, "look what we got you, another dollar on the hour" or "see there's another 6.5% that you would have lost without "your" union".
Now Pillsbury is hauling ass. They're packing up and moving to a place where it is more economical to do business. This little town in Indiana is busting their ass trying to get them to stay, so far they have came up with 7 mil but that's a drop in the bucket to Pillsbury. Again, last time I checked, THEY ARE IN IT TO MAKE MONEY!!!
Now, you have all these people that cry about how much the CEO makes or these Hugh corporate profits. People need to understand if you have some type of retirement (401k, IRS, etc..) they are invested in companies like this. The company does well so do they. If the Freakin company loses money so do they.
BOTTOM LINE: THE MARKET SHOULD DICTATE SALARY AND BENEFITS, NOT THE UNION.
